The choice is clear – our “one-box” solution will save you money

Other available Multi-Band solutions require multiple radio units, as well as an indoor unit to perform traffic aggregation and user interfaces. The resulting solution is large and heavy, complex to order and ship, is more difficult to install, configure and maintain, consumes much more power, and can be more than 30% more expensive.

In contrast, Aviat’s WTM 4800 Multi-Band consists of just one highly integrated radio. Nothing else is needed apart from the antenna and a few cables.

Other Multi-Band solutions versus ours

Multi-Band is essential to 5G

5G is all about mission critical use cases such as autonomous vehicles, remote healthcare, industrial machine-to-machine communications, which makes reliability a critical requirement for 5G transport networks. Multi-Band involves combining E-Band (70-80 GHz) with traditional microwave (6-42 GHz) on a single microwave link to drastically improve distance and reliability that can be typically achieved by E-Band alone.

With WTM 4800, Aviat now offers the industry’s simplest and most integrated Multi-Band solution.

Design your Multi-Band links in AviatCloud

Aviat Design, Aviat’s cloud-based link planning application, supports WTM 4800 E-Band and Multi-band designs. Aviat Design is the industry’s first and only integrated Multi-band link design solution showing a combined view of availability and capacity for the link. This enables easy, fast, intuitive E-Band and Multi-Band designs (all specs included, no pathloss files to download or update, easy cloud access). Popular design tools will require 2 separate link calculations for Multi-Band, and will not result in a combined design for the link, making it virtually impossible to understand the expected link performance or capacity or estimate the proper antenna size. Aviat Design is FREE for use at www.aviatcloud.com.

White paper: High Capacity + Availability: Multi-Band is the right solution for 5G backhaulWhy? Microwave bands are limited in capacity, particularly in countries and bands where spectrum is limited due to congestion. Even if you can get additional frequencies, scaling capacity means aggregating multiple channels that results in high equipment costs and potentially expensive recurring spectrum fees. E-Band alone is not sufficient either. With more bandwidth available that enables higher capacities, E-Band suffers from a number of potential limitations, from short link distances and high susceptibility to rain outage and pole/tower sway to difficult and time-consuming installation/antenna alignment.

Infographic: WTM 4800 Multi-Band InfographicMulti-Band involves combining E-Band (70-80GHz) with traditional microwave (6-42GHz) on a single microwave link, usually with a single antenna on each end. Multi-Band drastically improves availability and distance of E-Band links and addresses other issues like pole sway and antenna alignment. If you are thinking of E-Band or microwave, consider Multi-Band, in particular single-box Multi-Band. Check out our infographic to find out how single-box Multi-Band means high value at a cost that makes sense. Download

Part 1 of our “Revolutionizing 5G Mission Critical Transport Networks” blog post series addressed microwave versus fiber as the better solution for mission critical 5G. We now continue our exploration focusing on mission critical use cases. Many critical applications, such as connected/autonomous cars, industrial Internet of Things (IoT), M2M, and public safety applications, require consistent reliability from their mobile networks. Under threat of multi-day outages from disasters and other types of network downtime and service outages, mobile networks must ensure the reliability and resiliency needed for 5G operation and its critical missions.

Jeremy Ranch Golf & Country Club is in the Upper East Canyon of the Wasatch Mountains, on the outskirts of Park City, Utah. The Park City area has long been one of the nation’s attractive recreational and relocation destinations. The Jeremy Ranch facility overlooks the rapidly expanding East Canyon Creek region, which includes Park City. To serve this growing community, Wicked Fast Internet looked for a way to provide high-capacity services to residents and businesses. They wanted to keep costs down and assure that the selected technology would accommodate newly emerging high-capacity services, population growth, and geographical expansion.

5G network services promise higher-speed connections, greater reliability, and low latency. Industrial applications will drive new mobile IoT applications that support mission-critical applications. These demands have led to the development of 5G, built to support an abundance of IoT, higher capacity, and very low latency connections.

As we have talked about in previous posts, Multi-Band is a great way to improve the reliability and reach of E-Band, or to increase the capacity of licensed microwave bands, by combining both into a single, easy-to-deploy solution. More recently, we have seen Multi-Band solutions that utilize unlicensed 5 GHz band radios in place of licensed bands like 15, 18, or 23 GHz, but does this actually make sense?

Multi-Band backhaul links consist of running multiple channels at different frequency bands, typically 70/80 GHz + 6-23 GHz on a single link, to improve capacity and reliability. These links essentially operate as an extended ACM solution – giving more reliability than E-Band and more capacity than the lower frequency channels operating independently.

Are you considering deploying microwave links in your network? Instead of deploying 15, 18 or 23 GHz why not try WTM 4800 Multi-Band with 80/xxGHz. You can replace your microwave links with Multi-Band which combines E-Band and traditional microwave (15/18/23GHz) on a single link over a single antenna to drastically improve capacity that can be typically achieved by microwave alone.

Aviat Networks is pleased to announce that its new WTM 4815 multi-band backhaul solution has passed its first real world deployment with flying colors. The unit sailed through a battery of benchmarks under challenging weather conditions in a tropical climate. The link used the WTM 4815’s 80 GHz (E-Band) and 15 GHz (millimeter band) frequencies to deliver the best of both worlds over the link—a leap forward in capacity and throughput on one hand and enhanced link stability on the other.

Have you heard the buzz about Multi-Band? Multi-Band combines traditional microwave channel alongside an E-Band (80 GHz) channel, joining the capacity of the latter with the high availability of the former. Multi-Band makes E-Band carrier-class over longer distances, making it a much more viable and deployable solution for 5G backhaul.

For years, E-Band has been touted as the next big thing. Likewise, 80GHz technology and solutions have been around for several years, yet the demand has not taken off. Why is that? Well, there are a few excellent reasons:

What analysts are saying about our Multi-Band solution

The new WTM 4800 radio is about simplicity. The Multi-Band variant simplifies fronthaul/backhaul sites by reducing current configurations of multiple radios, cables, and a coupler to a single integrated radio unit. Additionally, the Multi-Band link planning tool on the AviatCloud simplifies the radio link design and planning down to six clicks of a mouse.

Emmy Johnson

Founder & Principal Analyst, Sky Light Research

Aviat recognized the need for cost efficient, reliable 10 Gbps backhaul and capitalized on it with the WTM 4800, which is a unique single-box Multi-Band radio design. A single-box Multi-Band radio not only provides reliability, distance, and capacity, but also helps solve the OPEX business case by streamlining the amount of equipment (and thus cost) historically required for a Multi-Band solution. Sky Light Research expects E-Band to be the sweet spot of the microwave radio market over the next five years, growing more than 200 percent by 2023.

Don Frey

Principal Analyst, , Ovum (an Informa company)

Service providers need lower total backhaul cost per gigabit, especially with 5G requiring less latency and greater transport bandwidth. Aviat Networks continues to lower the cost of installation, planning and operation by being first to provide an integrated Multi-Band 10Gb microwave product and a unique Multi-Band link design tool. In the next five years, Service providers will spend over $12B on 4G and 5G microwave backhaul including multi-carrier or multi-band equipment, so simplifying the design will be a winning strategy for service provider deployment.

Richard Webb

Multi-Band is an important technology in meeting the capacity, latency and reliability requirements of 5G transport,” states Richard Webb, Associate Director of Mobile Transport Research at IHS Markit TMT (an Informa company). “Aviat’s new WTM 4800 single-box Multi-Band product offer microwave users flexibility for 5G backhaul applications, allow them to minimize the number of devices they need and control capital, deployment and operational expenses. Aviat Store and Aviat Design are also very important pieces of the Aviat value proposition.
